Subject: [PATCH 1/8] x86, mce: stop calling del_timer_sync() from interrupt
Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2011 17:40:36 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DFB1304.10604@jp.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4DFB1242.90404@jp.fujitsu.com>

Function del_timer_sync() has WARN_ON(in_irq()) in it because
calling it from interrupt context can cause deadlock if it
interrupts the target timer running.

In MCE code, del_timer_sync() is used with on_each_cpu() in
some parts for sysfs files:
  bank*, check_interval, cmci_disabled and ignore_ce.

However use of on_each_cpu() results in calling the function
passed as the argument in the interrupt context.  It means you
can see a flood of warnings from del_timer_sync() by a simple
file access, for example:

  echo 300 > /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck0/check_interval

Fortunately these MCE specific files are rare-used and AFAIK
only few MCE geeks experience this warning on write.

To remove the warning (for my happy hacking), move timer deletion
outside of the interrupt context ;-)
